Decatur Lantern Parade

The week my mom and sister were visiting we were lucky enough that it happened to fall around the same time as the Decatur Lantern Parade.

A community event prefaced by a month of workshops throughout Decatur for residents to make their own lanterns and participate in the lantern parade.

The results were a night of whimsy and fun in downtown Decatur.

It's a lot of photos but everyone was so creative with their lanterns it was hard not to take a snap as every new wave of people passed by.

The parade was mesmerizing and electric (literally!) and nothing short of festive and fun!
